Prospects and problems of exploitation of gold-bearing placers in the Arctic shelf regions of Russia
Abstract
The results of the study of placer gold content in the Arctic shelf regions of Russia allow us to identify the main geological and industrial types of placers and determine their resource intensity. For placers of coastal-marine genesis the problem of fine gold extraction for sampling and exploitation is acute, which is successfully solved by using modern domestic enrichment apparatuses. High economic efficiency of exploitation of buried placers on coastal-marine plains, shallow shelf and on islands from under glaciers can be achieved by application of borehole hydro-technology of extraction developed in Russia.
